Spinach curry in yogurt sauce (Palak Kadi)

So I ended up getting a spinach bag from Costco and like all other things it was a jumbo pack(I love the part that it is pre-washed). And since then I have been trying out all the spinach recipes that I know of to get to it before they go bad. We had spinach-tofu curry, spinach salad, omelet with spinach filling and spinach curry in yogurt sauce.

This recipe is for a yogurt based spinach curry, in India its also called Palak(= Spinach) Kadi(=Yogurt based curry).

Method:In a deep pan heat oil and the chilies followed by cumin seeds, turmeric and coriander powder, saute it for a minute. Add peanuts and spinach and let the spinach cook on medium heat.In the meanwhile mix besan in yogurt completely so that there are no lumps. When the spinach has wilted add the yogurt mixture and sugar. Bring the curry to a boil on a low flame.Serve hot with rice, you could also enjoy it as a soup.

About Me

I enjoy cooking, to this end I read cookbooks and blogs, watch food network, dissect the dish in front of me when we dine out. My experiments in the kitchen have its fair share of failures but the ones that leave us licking our fingers, make it here.
